The house is currently filled with rollicking, foot-stomping Irish music. My mom had her high-school graduation today (yes, she just got her high-school diploma... her life is a long and slightly odd story), and there are bunch of people over to celebrate. My sister brought her electric violin, and there's someone playing backup guitar, and they're going through all the tunes they normally perform on St. Patrick's Day.
Since I've heard it all before (and can hear the music from anywhere in house), I am about to slink away to my room to work on the ballgown. Yesterday I sewed all the eyelets on the back opening, and am now working on the bertha and trim. This is, of course, after deciding the finished neckline was too high, and cutting it down and re-piping the edge. Twice. Ripping out hand stitching is always a little soul-crushing. But hopefully all mistakes are now behind me and I will be able to finish the gown in a timely manner. I have three days. I think I'll be fine.
